Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 334 Unfathomable
Madam Wu was a little worried about Chen Ce's health, so she got up early today and accompanied Chen Ce towards the Daxiangguo Temple.

"I'll go to the courier later."

"I'm really fine..."

Although Chen Ce repeatedly emphasized that there was nothing wrong with his body and what happened last night did not happen every day, Madam Wu was still worried.

There are usually not many people in the back mountain of Daxiangguo Temple. When Madam Wu accompanied Chen Ce to the back mountain, they found that several people from the Zhou family were standing silently in the distance, staring at the back mountain academy.

The Back Mountain College was a bit deserted, with few people around. There was no one in sight. From a distance, Zhou Nan could be vaguely seen standing in front of the college gate with his hands behind his back.

Chen Ce did not expect this result, and brought Madam Wu to the red gate of Houshan Academy.

Zhou Nan smiled bitterly and sighed to Chen Ce: "It seems... I failed."

He glanced at a group of people standing not far away and said to Chen Ce, "My father and several brothers are here, watching over there, watching me fail."

Chen Ce shook his head and said to Zhou Nan, "It's still early, maybe no one has arrived yet?"

Zhou Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that Chen Ce was trying to comfort him, and sighed faintly: "Ah!"

"Well, that's a wish come true."

The Zhang brothers came from a distance, holding a fried dough stick in one hand and soy milk in the other, smiling.

Zhang Heling's mouth was full of oil, and he stammered, "Chen Ce! You scared me to death yesterday!"

"I thought that with a smart person like you taking action, fate would be changed!"

"I'm sorry, I overestimated you, hehe."

Zhang Yanling took a bite of the dough sticks, shook his head and said to Zhou Nan: "Silly boy, you are making a fool of yourself now, aren't you?"

"We have made appointments with many of our relatives and dignitaries, and they will all be here soon... Oh, don't get me wrong, they are not here to laugh at you."

"We are all here to support you, haha!"

Zhou Nan clenched his fists in his sleeves. No matter how well-mannered he was, he wanted to give the Zhang brothers two punches at this moment.

The people of the Zhou family not far away couldn't stand it anymore. Several elder brothers of the Zhou family came over and said to the Zhang brothers with unfriendly faces: "Don't go too far!"

"We have been tolerant of you before, which is already a gift to your Zhang family. If you continue to bully us, don't blame us for being merciless!"

The Zhang brothers stretched their faces and said, "What? You want to fight? Hit me? Go ahead!"

"What are we doing? We just asked some people to come here to laugh... Oh no, we asked some people to come here to see the world, why? Is that not okay?"

The five brothers of the Zhou family couldn't bear it anymore, so they rolled up their sleeves and were ready to attack the brothers of the Zhang family.

But he was sternly stopped by Zhou Yu who came rushing over.

"stop!"

The Zhang brothers smiled and said, "Look, your father still knows the rules."

"Old Zhou, you lost a lot this time, didn't you? Are you sad? Oh, you definitely don't feel sad, but you're just a little embarrassed."

These two guys are really mean. Why bother? It was just a dispute over land. They are still brooding over it. No one else can compare.

Chen Ce was about to speak, but Zhou Nan pulled him back the next moment. Zhou Nan pointed at the crowd on the stone road ahead and said, "That's..."

Chen Ce looked and found a group of people walking towards him. There were a lot of people, more than a hundred.

The Zhang brothers didn't turn around and said calmly: "Oh, the person we called... eh?"

It doesn't look like that. This group of people don't seem to be the relatives and dignitaries that he called here to watch the joke.

"Is this the Houshan Academy?"

"We are here for class, how do we sign up?"

A group of Confucian scholars asked tentatively. Seeing so many people standing in front of the academy, they didn't know who to ask for a moment. Zhou Nan was in a daze, and everyone present was also in a daze.

It was only when Chen Ce gently pulled Zhou Nan that Zhou Nan suddenly reacted.

Are they here to sign up?
Zhou Nan hurriedly said, "Oh, do you want to sign up? Come in with me."

The crowd followed Zhou Nan into the academy. The team was like a long dragon, walking into the academy one after another.

There were too many people, and Zhou Nan was too busy to handle it. He hurriedly said to the brothers of the Zhou family: "Big brother, second brother, don't just stand there, come and help!"

The Zhou family's older brothers suddenly reacted at this moment and couldn't help but gasp.

Oh my god, there are actually people signing up? So many people?

"Oh...oh oh, okay, here it comes!"

Several brothers hurriedly followed Zhou Nan in, and did not forget to say to the Zhang brothers: "Please make way, don't block the way!"

The Zhang brothers stepped aside in a daze, opening the door to let the Confucian scholars in.

The two brothers, with fried dough sticks still stuffed in their mouths, stared at the scene blankly and suddenly felt a little suffocated.

Whoops!

How can they really recruit students? Are these students stupid?

Zhang Heling quickly pulled a student over and said, "This is to teach accounting techniques, are you sure?"

"No, that's what we're here to learn."

Did I lose it? !
You guys are a bit off topic, aren't you? You don't study the Four Books and Five Classics, you don't take the imperial examinations, but you come to learn this? You're crazy!
This, this is simply sick!

Zhang Heling asked Chen Ce in a daze, "How much is the tuition for this student?"

Chen Ce said: "Maybe three or five taels of silver, I don't know either."

Three to five taels per person, so for a hundred that would be three to five hundred taels... not much, but acceptable, and it makes me feel a little better.

But what if we open ten such schools?
Thinking of this, Zhang Heling began to feel a little suffocated again!

What happened to this world? Why has it become so strange? Are the Confucian scholars not studying the Four Books and Five Classics, but starting to learn these unorthodox teachings?
Oh my god! What on earth is going on?

There are more and more students outside, more than a hundred. Now there are still many Confucian scholars coming here, some of them are even in their forties or fifties.

"Brother, you are still here to study at your age?"

Zhang Yanling asked in surprise.

The scholar said, "If you can't pass the imperial examination, you can learn a skill. Now all major businesses are hiring accountants, and the monthly salary is high... Uh, who are you?"

The Confucian scholar looked at Zhang Yanling with contempt, then stepped in.

Changning Earl Zhou Yu was stunned for a long time, feeling relieved and sad, but soon he grabbed the hands of the Zhang brothers and said, "My two marquises!"

"Where are the relatives and dignitaries you called? Why haven't they come yet? I am waiting for them!"

Zhang brothers: "..."

"Ah, haha, this..."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "To be honest, our Zhou family plans to open schools in other places in the future. We wanted to invite the two marquises to invest together, but the two marquises are not interested. I guess you won't have the face to open such a school yourself in the future, right?"

What the hell!

This Lord Changning is so shameless! You make money yourself, but you don't want us to share the profits? How can this be justified!
The Zhang brothers felt a little suffocated, and then mechanically turned their heads to look at Chen Ce, swallowing slightly, "I said it, I said it... this guy..."

Zhang Heling was annoyed. This kid would definitely hit the target if he made a slight move!
As expected, as expected, this guy Chen Ce is unfathomable, unfathomable!
